M >1 * % SYNOPSIS: . . .A luxurious five- month cruise around the world aboard the “Mareilia” brings to­ gether a group of passengers for adventure, romantic, entertaining f, and tragic ... Like in “Grand Hotel” these passengers offer a study in human actions and reactions which unconsciously have their souls . . . These char­ acters are aboard the ship: Mac­ duff, dour Scotchman, single, of middle age; Miss Mudge, school teacher, spending the savings of twenty years: Angela, faithful wife of Lovat, gigolo; Dick Charl­ ton, first officer; Clare, a person of experience; Joan, a dissipated flapper; jenny, run-away wife and Peter; Captain Baring, master of the ship . . . and his soul.

She had been jilted so often that fear was a fixation with her now. Yes, she was a mess. Now Dick* Joan helped herself to the marmalade and thought that he was the most attractive man she had ever known—just as she had sus­ pected. He did not need her at all; that was painfully obvious. She en­ vied people who know how to run their lives and control their own des­ tinies. Dick was looking at ingly. Miserable, she turned his sagacious scrutiny. Dick felt touched. It gave him no pleasure to see anyone unhappy or disappointed. He knew, from experience -with women, that worst hurt of all was frustration, for it touched them in their pride. Be­ sides, she couldn’t help it. “Joan,” he said, catching as she left the dining-room, you to take the pledge for while aud behave yourself.” “Dont be funny,” she said. Dick shook her impatiently. ‘Don’t wise-crack, Joan. It doesn’t become you. I'm in earnest. You’ve got to stop drinking, and I’m going to* make you." She flashed him a wistful glance. “It's no use, Dick; I’m sunk. It’s the only relief I have. I’d do any-! thing for you, but not that.” “Promise me you will for a week.’ His voice was urgent. Joan laughed in his face. “All right; it’s a go,” she said, “beginning today. Watch me." “Good girl!” Funny, thought Dick, walking away from the dining-room, he was ( teaching one woman to drink and another to swear off. Undoubtedly* it was the right prescription in both ■ cases. He couldn’t imagine that Miss Mudge was ever going to touch a drop when she returned to the States. Mean-while, it would be a pity if sihe went to Ohonto without a few memories of downright wickedness. It "was a great relief to have all these people off the boat. Three weeks of comparative freedom! His face was puckered with the sun as he moved away from the rail and pass- j ed a row of empty deck chairs. Hello ! here 'was Miss Mudge, still on tliq boat for some mysterious’ reason, and under one^s tset as usual. To­ day she ■"’’Kx’S dressed in some sort of -gihgham thing—her tropical cos­ tume—with a hat like a coal shuttle [upside down. God! how he hated white cotton stockings. He stopped at her side and greeted 'her. “Hello! You here!” Miss Mudge was blushing violent­ ly. She sat up straight, and the stockings disappeared from view over the side of her chair. Was he dreaming or had she paint on 'her cheeks at broad noonday, and shock­ ingly misapplied? Good for Miss Mudge? She was getting on. Lipstick and sheer stockings next. “I’m surprised to see you still on the boat,” he said. “I thought you’d be on your way across India by this time.” Miss Mudge’s responsive face was suddenly lost in a cloud. She rustled her papers, then lifted her head with a perky air and answered him: “No, I’m not going across India. I’mi stay­ ing right here on the boat.” He checked an exclamation of sur­ prise. “That’s topping,” he said. “We’re going to have fun together. I always stay with the boat, so I shall show you Bombay. Shall we start tonight?’ Miss Mudge brightened, like a lamp that has just been lit. “That’s very kind of you, Dr. Charlton. I’m sure India couldn’t be any better than the Holy Land.” “Were you so impressed by that?” “More than words can tell.” Her _ _ _ voice sank to an awed whisper. ‘Jer- sjernow than’^hen she‘had come [ usalem was just like the colored Haw hard it was to scrolls we used to have in our Sun­ stand the muddle of > ^ay" school. It seemed so strange, FIFTH INSTALMENT Stealthily Joan started toward Dick’s stateroom, then stopped to survey the situation. The rotunda was rather wavery tonight. She dawdled among the plants, dipping her fingers in the water. She must remember to catch a goldfish and take it to her room. Mr. Stein had told her he had put one in his pock­ et, and it had wiggled so much that he. had flung it into the sea. Joan laughed out loud. She liked people who did things like that, Joan mov­ ed slowly away from the fountain and knocked at Dick's door. It was opened at once, but not in a friend­ ly. way. “Joan, you here? What do you w<pt?” “I want to talk to you. Let me in.” Dick looked down the corridor; he. was annoyed. “All right, then, come in, but you Mfcve not business to come here. I htve told you so repeatedly.” Joan straightened up. “Don’t be ridiculous, Dick,” she told him, sol­ emnly. “I can’t think why you’re s< severe. You’re not cut out to be a reformer.” She walked in, ignoring his frowning brows, and seated herself on the sofa. Taking her time about it, she crossed hei* legs and lit a cigarette. “Got any brandy?” she asked. “Yes,” said Dick, shortly. “Want s<ne ” J He poured out two liqueurs and . drank his own in sips. “Why aren’t you .crossing India?” fly. re, n’t I i I I i ■ lExvter ©iutw-Aiiitwratr Established 1873 and 1887 at Exeter, Ontario Published every Thursday morning SUBSCRIPTION—$2.d0 per year in advance RATES—Farm or Real Estate for sale 50c, each insertion for first four insertions. 25c. each subse­ quent insertion.

It’s right down to my lungs. Why aren’t you asleep?’ “Oh, I have a little demon at work. I can’t close my eyes. Aunt Neil is sleeping like the dead. She always does. It’s an easy conscience. Toss me a cigarette. Angela, please." “Perhaps if we put out this beast­ ly corridor light things would better. It’s just like a green winking in on us.” “Here's my scarf. Hang it the transom.” “That’s a bright idea. I don’t pose it will stick.” Patty’s strong young arms manoeu­ vred a temporary screen and she lay quiet, in darkness that was now com­ plete. “Angela,” she said at last, “I’m going straight out to the Taj the minute we arrive at Agra, for the moonlight is perfect, tonight and we mightn’t catch it again. Tomorrow night it might rain.” None of them' felt like luncheon when the returned to their hotel from seeing- the Taj and the Ganges at Agra, India. They found Macduff at work on a new kind of cocktail. He was get­ ting on with his list. He had crossed off the Blue Blazer in Jerusalem, the Sidecar at Shepheard’s, the Jab- berwcck at the Mena House, the ! Bombay Spcial at Bombay, the Thun­ derclap at Agra, and was now due to try the Union Jack at Benares. He had decided not to go out on the Ganges, for he had been there before and knew the "worst. In any event, he had poor opinion of a race that did not drink'. He was enjoy­ ing himself considerably and had no J desire to look at the spindly legs orf so many miserable men. It pleased * him to sit on a wide and shady vcr- ! anda with a glass in front of him, j and a fakir trying to screw- a penny , out of his pocket. Macduff chuckled ! to himself at the mere idea of any­ one. getting a farthing for nothing I I from him. He was really enjoying j i the voyage more than he would ad- . mit. The roisterers were settling down, and nobody bothered him now. Miss. Mudge was a bore—too skitterish. He had avoided her ever since Monte Carlo. Mrs. Wynant seemed like a sensible person, but he thought it dangerous to pass the time of day to any woman on a boat; she might turn out to be another Mrs. Langford. His place in the bar was sacred now. He had glared every intruder out of his corner seat, as if a pla­ card were up: “Reserved for Mac­ duff. The dog "will bite.” For some one who never spoke to a soul, Macduff had extensive know­ ledge of his fellow passengers. He 1 spotted many things they did not 1 know about one another—that was one of the advantages of sitting back and holding one’s tongue. Life would be simple for a great many people if only there were less talk. Macduff downed the fourth and rose in a mellow mood to eat his luncheon. As a chance would have it, there wasn’t a vacant chair in the place, except across from Mrs. Wyn­ ant. Well, he could stand looking at her. He sat down and reached for the menu. “Good morning, Mr. Macduff. Have you been on the river?” Angela en­ quired turning her dark eyes full on •his face. Macduff had never had any trouble being rude, and had cut more cordial advances than this, but the four Union Jacks were behind him, the sun was bright, and he lik­ ed the way that Angela did her 'hair. He thought he would unbend. “No.” lie said. “I suppose you have seen it before and then it doesn’t matter. I took } Patty Arundel with me, and it made her ill. Hygiene, you know. They teach the American young that clean­ liness is far ahead of godliness.” ‘ Macduff looked suspiciously at An­ gela. Was she, by any chance, mak­ ing fun of him? But no, her face was kind and open. “It’s a pity your husband couldn’t ' make the entire trip.” “Heavens!” thought Angela, “the And i’ll never forget [man’s a boor!” A shadow darkened his the her arm “I want littlea. me to understand you.” “Old Southern family, boarding schools, beaux, plenty of money one 'day, and not a sou the next,” said . Joan, flippantly. “And love in abun- ’ dance, if that’s what you choose to ; call it. It’s been hectic enough, butj not very satisfying.” Dick watched the pulse that throb­ bed in her throat, the ripeness of her lips, her disordered red hair, the shadowy hollow of her bosom. “I’ve never done anything with life,” Joan went on, “just messed about, staying up late every night and sleeping every morning—killing . tithe in between. Restaurants, speak-' easies, the theatre and places to danpe—forgetfulness for a little while. I was caught in a tangle or excitement being I knew what I was doing, Dick, and here I am, gay at night, and ready to kill myself when 1 waken up in the morning.” Joan 'held up her glass, watching it through the light with fingers tttat trembled.
